Thanks for partnering with me on this. I agree with you. It was interesting to reread the text after we have done so much on the project. Some things made absolutely no sense to me the first time around! Now, I feel like I understand at least a little bit more. Hypothesis.is was a new experience for me. Hopefully I can remember what I learned when we make our corrections this week.

Thu, 29 Mar 2018 04:45:20 +0000http://hist428.emmabaumgardner.com/blog/?p=54#comment-15Although we have discussed this in class before, these readings also reiterated the idea of more widely available access and publication means that historians (or just students) have to learn to wade through the good and the bad. Something that stuck with me in some of the articles that I read were that the bad sources didn’t have to be all bad. Take Wikipedia for example. Most college professors would question your sanity if you only used Wiki citations on a paper, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn anything from it. There were a couple professors who discussed using Wikipedia not as a source of citable information, but as a learning tool. One used it as a way to demonstrate how history can be created (via anonymous internet users) while another used it to teach students about different types of sources. She had a lesson that had students look at what Wikipedia is, an open encyclopedia, and what its uses could be. While things may not be perfect, the bad is not necessarily all bad.

That way if someone just does a general google search then your site could still pop up.

Even basic word frequency charts would allow for another way to explore who is buried here and where they were from.
